! The plaintiff who lives in New Portland,
! brings his action against the defendants
who are brothers residing in Embden.
The plaintiff says the defendant on the
18th of October, Sc, agreed to sell me 90
sheep at 2 cts. pound, live weight.
paid them $40 as earnest money and in
part payment. | demanded to have the
sheep weighed but the defendants refused
to complete the sale.
Defense. True, we bargained the
sheep to the plaintif and received the $40,
but before doing so, notified the plaintiff
that the sheep were not ours but belonged
to our father S. c. Atwood, who resides
| in New Portland that the agreement to
sell was conditional on his ratification.
The plaintiff so understood it and booked
the transaction by crediting father with
the sheep and charging him with $40.
/ Again the plaintiff defrauded us in this
we told him that father had talk of sell
ing the sheep to one George b. Gray, a
sheep buyer of Arson.
The plaintiff replied that GRAY was done
buying sheep for the year when, in fact,
he was not done buying, and that very
day he came and told us that he had al
ready bought the sheep of father and
booked them to his credit. Upon which,
on the evening of the same day, we ten
dered back the $40 to the plaintiff which
he refused to accept.
Reply. There was no sale to Gray, no
money was paid, no delivery was made
